Gretchen German is a Canadian-born American actress with a prolific career in television and film, spanning over three decades.

Her extensive television resume includes guest-starring roles on a wide array of iconic series, such as Murder, She Wrote, Matlock, Coach, Star Trek: Voyager, Home Improvement, and more recently, Modern Family.
